I see him from time to time.
There at the corner of my minds eye.
When he walks he labors
Releasing a heated sigh.
By day on dusty street corners
Shopping cart and faded bus pass.
Bowed legs splayed reaching
down for a butt One eye watching.
Singular and oblivious.
A mad Soul gone COOL.
The Devil came one sane night
and ended all sanity.
Placed him on parole from Hell.
Took his love and replaced it
with the things of Earths creation.
He moves on and off dim streets.
Immune no terror bullets screams.
No longer concerned with ugly or
beauty The World is his burden.
It is his Illusion.
But, the tower of his mind rings
High and low pitches though the city.
Penis loin hanging to bulbous knees.
Side-Slapping on urine stained thighs.
At night he prowls in my mind.
Silent Fleeting past my minds windowpane.
Through a lighted street corner
The corner of my eye.

Most poets try to get emotion from their readers, and I will say that you did this very well.
